Glowforge saying that there are open paths, when there are not

Hello,

So I am trying to cut out my own Catan board. I am using the images provided by Glowfordge on their website with some minor variations. I have tried to upload and engrave this sheep design into wood, but the GF keeps telling me that it has open paths and that I need to close them. But, when I go to document info in illustrator it tells me that there are no open paths.

Any advice?

Thank you!

Rasterize everything but the blue and red parts…you’ll get a much neater file. (I run a utility in AI that found a boatload of open paths…tiny segments and dots behind the main compound path…a quick rasterizing takes care of it.)

I tried rasterizing everything myself, and for some reason, it didn’t work. But your file works great.

Thank you so much!

No problem! The utility finds them quickly. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for sharing that utility, @Jules! I’m glad to hear that helped resolve it.

I’m going to close this thread now, but if you run into any other trouble, please start a new thread. Happy printing!
